Parking was easy in the strip mall lot. The location is super convenient. They have bubble tea inside, which is a nice touch, but the one I got was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The ice cream sandwich is huge for the price. Cookies are big but not too thick, so you still get that creamy ice cream in every bite. A solid choice for a hot day.

The einkorn sourdough loaf is the highlight. Complex flavor, great crust. Bread basket is worth the extra charge. Solid start to the meal.

The cookies and cream rolled ice cream is good. It&#39;s fun to watch them make it fresh.

So many flavor options, even for my vegan friend! The staff let us try a few before ordering, which was super helpful. We ended up sharing a few different ones and it was a fun way to hang out.

A bit of a drive from Asheville, but the food is solid. Good for a business lunch.

The donuts are definitely bigger than most, which helps justify the price. But what really stood out to me was the freshness. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality. The texture was just right, not too heavy. A nice treat.

The flight nights are a smart idea. You get these tiny scoops of their new flavors, so you don&#39;t have to commit to a whole cup of something you might not like. It&#39;s a good deal for trying the weird stuff.

Found this spot when everywhere else was packed. The breakfast sandwich was so good, and the cromuffin was a nice surprise.

A little out of the way, but the deli counter is great. Grabbed a custom sandwich and some cheese to go. Parking was easy.

The staff really know their stuff and gave us some great tips for the area. Perfect first stop in Black Mountain!

Ordered a custom cake for a get-together. Sent over a rough sketch and they nailed the design. The strawberry and chocolate layers were spot on, really moist. Paired it with a nice dessert wine, worked beautifully. A bit pricey, but the cake was the star of the night.

They had a same-day birthday cake available, which was a lifesaver. The cake itself was really good&mdash;I could tell the ingredients were fresh. The frosting wasn&#39;t too sweet, which I appreciate. I&#39;d order from them again, but next time I&#39;ll plan ahead for more flavor options.

Stopped in for breakfast. The donut bun sandwich was a fun idea. It&rsquo;s warm, not overly sweet. A solid choice if you&rsquo;re in the mood for something different.

The blueberry pastry was really nice, flaky and not too sweet. Cappuccino was solid too. It&#39;s a pleasant spot for a quiet breakfast. The sandwich I tried was just okay, a bit dry.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always lets me try a few flavors first.

The Hop&#39;s homemade waffle cones are the real star here. Still warm when they hand it to you, with that perfect crisp texture. It just makes the whole ice cream experience better.

The dragon cupcakes were a hit, and paired nicely with a crisp Riesling.

When the &quot;Hot Now&quot; sign is lit, the donuts are noticeably fresher. The texture is just better than the ones sitting out.
